From the page: "Missouri and at least 19 other states are considering passing laws that would force people to prove their citizenship before they can vote. These bills are not a sincere effort to prevent noncitizens from voting; that is a made-up problem. The real aim is to reduce turnout by eligible voters. Republicans seem to think that laws of this kind will help them win elections, but burdensome rules like these â€" and others cropping up around the country â€" pose a serious threat to democracy and should be stopped."
You can bet that few well-off republicans will be inconvenienced by these new rules pn voting.
Is it time to make government nonpartisan? Should political parties have as much control in government as they have?
